Yu Longting's face was stern at the moment, "Call me husband."
"Husband," I obediently complied.
It was my fault for calling him 'big brother' by mistake.
What Yu Longting cared about the most was how I addressed him.
Only then did Yu Longting look satisfied, his expression slightly softened, "Waste? Snow Ganoderma might as well be a rotten mushroom to me if I don't give it to you. Do you still dare say it's a waste?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! From now on, I'll eat whatever you tell me to eat." I behaved very obediently. Why would I let down someone who wants to treat me well?
The reason for my earlier reaction was still the character ingrained in my bones, subconsciously making me feel undeserving of anything.
Yu Rongling teased, "If my brother gives you arsenic, would you eat that too?"
"That... How could... Don't flatter yourself, I'm not that infatuated with your brother." Although I denied it with my words, my heart was not certain.
If one day Yu Longting really gave me arsenic.
Maybe... in my confusion... I really might... swallow it...
It was then that Yu Longting explained to me: "Dumpling has been injured many times and needs a lot of nourishment, or else... she might not make it through childbirth."
"Dumpling has been injured again? Brother, I'll contribute all my treasured medicinal herbs in my collection, all for sister-in-law to eat!" Yu Rongling immediately offered with concern.
Yu Longting nodded, saying nothing.
He picked up my suitcase and went downstairs with me.
Downstairs, the car driven by Beichen was already parked at the curb.
Coincidentally, on the sidewalk by the car door.
There was a couple embracing and kissing intimately, their actions sweet and affectionate.
I recognized them both quite well...
Beichen and Xiao Li!!
"Yu Longting, let's not disturb them for the moment," I tugged at Yu Longting's sleeve.
Yu Longting stopped in his tracks upon hearing my words, his dark eyes brooding.
I, with a face full of gossip, whispered lowering my voice, "I've only been taken away for a few days, how did things progress so quickly? They're already kissing?"
"Beichen was struck by the Blood Curse, and then they ended up together," Yu Longting said, "Many relationships can't withstand the test of life and death, but there are also many that transcend through it."
Although most of the time Yu Longting has the image of being carefree, his extensive experiences have actually made him a person with great depth and composure.
There was nothing out of place about such profound reasoning coming from his mouth.
It was particularly convincing, and thought-provoking.
"Xiao Li's unwavering presence at his sickbed touched Beichen?" I was still a bit worried, concerned if Beichen wasn't sincere about his feelings.
Xiao Li's emotions were like those of a young girl, passionate and pure.
If the other party does not share the same purity, Xiao Li could end up getting hurt in the future.
Yu Longting smiled, "Beichen has long had feelings, but he's slow to warm up, that's why he was slow to express them."
"Oh, so him being struck with the Blood Curse was just a catalyst?" I felt like Yu Longting was like a love expert, his insights were so clear!
Yu Longting leaned closer and whispered in my ear with a volume only the two of us could hear, "Let me tell you something else, when I picked him up at the Mass Burial Mound, he was actually already dead. When I picked him up, his body was stiff, and there was even a centipede crawling out of his nose. I forcibly brought him back to life..."
"Wha...t." I was profoundly shocked.
Yu Longting smirked, "To evoke true feelings from someone who is fundamentally to the core self-deprecating, the emotions have to be genuine. Don't think your sister is at a disadvantage, I'm more worried about Beichen, heart newly awakened to love, getting hurt."
"..." What's with this paternalistic attitude you're putting on? It's so unusual and hard to get used to!
With a full head of black lines, I felt defiant inside, thinking that Xiao Li would never let Beichen be heartbroken.
At that end, Beichen seemed to have noticed us.
He let go of Xiao Li, a faint blush spreading over his cold, angular face, "Xiao Li, the Snake Lord and Lady of the Snake Lord... and also Yu Rongling, are watching us."
